Rewe Foursquare Barbados Rum

The surprise here is how much clean Foursquare character shows up in a supermarket own-label bottle: banana, vanilla and pale wood with a touch of nail polish, and a body that reads a bit sweeter than a dry Barbados usually does. Several tasters call it a "typisches, sauberes Barbados Profil" — honest, everyday, and just as happy in a cocktail as in a glass.

The community says
  • Clean Barbados profile
  • Easy sipping
  • But: Added sugar

Für einen Supermarkt Rum ist er wirklich super gut Die heilige drei faltigkeit : vanille, Holz und etwas fruchtige anklänge schmeckt man hoer deutlich herraus. Der foursquare einfluss ist auch deutlich zu vernehmen. Schade das er eingestellt wurde.

Shallow taste. Medical bitterness.

Probably THE 'trademark benchmark'. Anyone who stumbles upon it should definitely try it for educational purposes - and the rest of the bottle is great for mixing. Not too much going on in the nose. Fruit, honey, a hint of banana, light wood and a touch of nail polish. A bit sweeter than the Plantation Barbados 5, but also a bit edgier towards the end. In between fruit and a bit of funk. What makes the bottle special is the price. Still 15€, and for that an absolute must-have. If you want to gift someone something to sniff or are looking for a super solid mixer without any cutting, this is your best bet. Grab it!

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste

Solid supermarket rum from the store brand. Despite the low ABV, the alcohol isn't very well integrated. It was probably also recolored and sweetened. But for the price, totally okay.

Avg Rating 8.3/10 over 630 Rums

Few distilleries inspire the devotion Foursquare does. Bought by Sir David Seale in 1995, distilling since 1996 and run by master distiller Richard Seale, it has become the most awarded and most collected rum producer of the modern era. Its cask-strength Exceptional Cask Selection releases sell out in minutes.
